He expected it because Phaeacians were famous for their hospitality and willingness to help everyone. They would refuse help to no one so he expected them to help him.

Odysseus expected the Phaecians to be generous and wanted to accept their offerings because the Phaecians were known as models of hospitality. Moreover, Odysseus believed that telling them an entertaining story would make the Phaecians help him.

In <em>Odyssey</em>, the Phaecians are a group of people who inhabit the island of Scheria, which is ruled by Alcinous and Arete. They are skilled with different activities in the ocean. For that reason, they assure Odysseus returns safely to Ithaca. However, they are punished by Poseidon for being hospitable and generous with Odysseus later in the story.

The history of Captain Nemo in the book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" remains a mystery. However, in the course of the narrative, the reader is given some clues of what forged him as a stern captain. When he says "There I am free", referring to the ocean, it is possible to infer that he had a somehow captive life on land. He also reaffirms his refusal to go back to land for he would sacrifice the freedom of knowing the submarine world in his Nautilus. The words "builder" and "engineer" denote an academic education, the best disponible back then; he was able to design a submarine with electrical technology, the great Nautilus that made that under water journey possible.
